This donation equates to an estimated 158,000 meals for families across the Midwest this holiday season.  

"As a food solutions company, we strive to make nutrition accessible and affordable to the communities we serve," said SpartanNash Senior Vice President of Communications and SpartanNash Foundation Executive Director Adrienne Chance. "We are humbled by the support we've seen from our store guests, Associates and communities to raise the greatest amount of donations to date for our local food pantries in the fight against food insecurity this holiday season."

The fundraiser received an overwhelming response from communities across the region. Donations were made at participating SpartanNash-operated retail stores, including Family Fare, Martin's Super Markets, D&W Fresh Market and fuel centers. Store guests had the opportunity to contribute a dollar amount of their choosing at checkout. After donating, store guests signed their name on a donation card, which was posted on the wall of their local store. Online donations were also made accessible through the SpartanNash Fast Lane.

"Our work is made possible by our community's unwavering support," said Kids' Food Basket President and Founding CEO Bridget Clark Whitney. "Partners like SpartanNash help ensure that we can keep showing up for our neighbors facing food insecurity. Every meal matters and every dollar counts."

Since 2015, more than $2.4 million has been raised and donated through SpartanNash Foundation's annual in-store fundraisers to benefit food pantry partners. In total, this contribution has provided an estimated 865,000 meals for people in the communities SpartanNash serves.
